Analytical Model Information Delivery Device and Analytical Model Information Delivery Program
First Claim
1. An analytical model information delivery device provided in a device for creating a numerical analytical model from CAD data, comprising:
- a CAD data read unit which reads CAD data and creates a three-dimensional CAD model;
a shape search unit which searches elements included in the CAD data for a shape feature and stores the shape feature in a CAD feature shape database;
a query unit which compares a result of searching made by the shape search unit against a shape creation rule prestored in an analytical modeling means database and instructs an input/output device to present the result of searching;
an input result display unit which, responding to a query from the query unit, interactively corrects the result of searching the CAD data and instructs the input/output device to highlight a corrected portion of the corrected three-dimensional CAD model;
a model conversion unit which creates a numerical analytic model from the corrected three-dimensional CAD model;
a modeling portion display unit which instructs the input/output device to highlightedly display the corrected portion on the numerical analytical model; and
a shape processing unit which further corrects interactively the corrected portion shown, by the modeling portion display unit, on the numerical analytical model.

Abstract
Using this analytical model information delivery device, it is possible to quickly create analytical models even when the designer and the analyst are different people. This analytical model information delivery device is provided in a device for creating numerical models from CAD data. A shape search unit searches the components making up the CAD data and extracts features, and matches the extracted features with shape creation rules pre-registered in an analytical modeling means database. Further, when modifying a three-dimensional CAD model using the shape creation rules, an input result display unit highlights the modification area of the three-dimensional CAD model modified in accordance with the shape creation rules. A model conversion unit creates a numerical model from the modified three-dimensional CAD model. A shape processing unit further interactively modifies the modified area of the numerical model displayed by a modeling area display unit.
